COMMENTS: Having already posted losses this year to a cancer patient in Arizona and two spot starters in Atlanta, the Dodgers will now face another spot starter just off of three minor-league rehab starts with a strained right forearm. Meanwhile, the Dodgers' last twenty-seven innings read like a binary nightmare:

Fri 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0
Sat 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
Sun 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0

Which brings the Dodgers to their current 7-11 record, good enough for last place in the NL West and six games off the pace. Like the convenience store chain, the Dodgers have been quick and easy, with a staff (starting pitchers) that is getting robbed with regularity.

Okay, here's the deal. A few weeks ago the 7-11 corporation approached us and said they would give us $500 every time we used their logos. But it couldn't be random—it had to be in context. Thanks to the Dodgers' poor starts, we're $1,000 richer!

No Penny for me on the fantasy team. The Dodgers on my main fantasy team: Furcal, Martin, Loney, Lowe and Billingsley. I'm trying to get as many Dodgers and/or Red Sox as I possibly can, so I also have Ortiz, Ramirez, Ellsbury, Beckett, Buchholz, Okajima and Papelbon.
